Iranian politician Ali Shamkhani is being accused of “hypocrisy” over a resurfaced video reportedly showing his daughter’s wedding ceremony.
Shamkhani was part of the government when Iran arrested thousands of protesters advocating for gender equality. The backlash over the wedding, especially regarding the bride’s dress, follows a report detailing strict surveillance on women in public to ensure compliance with mandatory hijab use.
Shamkhani served as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) between 2013 and 2023.
